It hasn't been confirmed yet, but I might be Scotland for a part of the con this year.

^hahaha this is acceptable. I'm excited to see Kaworu though

I didn't know you knew about Evangelion!
I'm excited too. The plugsuit will be a big challenge, but I will take it on.

Yesss, I love it. And yeah that does look like it'd be hard, but I'm sure it'll look awesome once it's all done.

Mmkay this is a bit of a weird post, but I'm looking for a hetalia cosplayer, specifically an american one, and I'm pretty sure this is the most likely place I'm going to find her. The night in question I met said cosplayer was..... friday or saturday. It's frankly been a long weekend and I cant remember which day was which.

I've been spending a hell of a lot of time being a monster all october at Fright Town, and I usually work in the black box. My costume changes by the night. We have cosplayers through quiet often, and while having people in costume come through as patrons is- sometimes a hassle since they can mix in with the monsters, it can also be fun since I can play spot the cosplayer. (and we have a lot of cosplayers in our monster cast too)

I had one night when I was roaming the Black Box (one of the three haunts we have) I saw a blonde wig with a hair swirl. Curious I snuck up behind the group to see if I could get a scare out of em and figure out who the cosplayer was. Turns out it was a Hetalia cosplayer dressed as America in some kinda of red coat with some white and (I think) blue in there, holding an old film real prop that had "Americas Ego" written on it.

She came through twice, second time on her own. I felt kinda bad that she was alone so I followed her through kinda at her side (we do that sometimes when folks come in alone) and she was really awesome, even if I had to leave her partway through to take care of some douche's who wouldnt turn their cell phone lights off (we made it clear no lights from the start to the end).

Whoever you were Miss/Sir America, you were coolio. If you cant get it quiet yet I was the girl with the bloody face, messed up brown hair, a black knee length dress with a rope belt that had a saw knife attached to it (and that night I believe I had one in my hand too). You were coolio and my names Jill.

So sorry if this is slightly off topic, but I'm taking this as my best bet and I was pretty appreciative of that cosplayer. Added some charm to my night.

You can put me down for India m'dear. <3

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #164 on:** November 06, 2011, 09:12:46 am »

...that guy looks nothing like an Indian. At best, maybe he's a Spaniard who's moved to India, or something... Thinner eyebrows and a mocha-like skin tone would make him look a lot more like an Indian, and maybe get rid of the bindi, or make it look less like a pimple...

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #165 on:** November 06, 2011, 10:23:37 am »

^That's secretly what he is. A Spaniard that's moved to India taking the Indian people's identity!

But in all seriousness, I would have liked to see a darker complexion/shade. But I've also seen, particularly in Bollywood and some Indian male models, a lot of lighter-toned Indians. I've seen my fair share of ones about as light as me! I like his eyebrows, actually. Also, bindis, from my recollection, are mainly just worn by women, I think you're referring to a tilak? In which case I think it's a cute touch, but yes, I wish it was more defined but sometimes tiny details like that are not always well drawn out with Himaruya. Usually he saves those details for official drawings/designs.

Bindis are not gender-specific. We Westerners do tend to think of them as specifically being just for women, in particular married women, but they have many other roles that apply to both men & women, mostly meditative things. From what I understand, the difference between a bindi and a tilak is region.

So, the "character" India isn't even Indian, but an imposter...?

I'm well aware of the roles of bindis, having been Hindu in the past myself. Bindis are a type of tilak. Though you are correct that it's not gender specific, I've just mainly in the past heard tilak when talking about men and bindi when talking about a woman. My memory totally faded me, but yes a tilak is more of a mark of the sect of hinduism (like the three lines for shaivism and the 'u' shape for vaishnavism.)

I don't know if you meant for that to be a joke or you were serious. If serious, no, that's India alright.

But we really shouldn't go too off topic in this discussion in a cosplay thread ;]

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #169 on:** November 06, 2011, 12:56:57 pm »

Oh, that's the difference...! Okay, thank you!

It was intended to be serious, more than anything.

You're right... LOOK! MY SIGGY HAS SCOTLAND AS AN OPTION!!!

Also, I actually really like India's design, but I agree with Sandro- It'd be nice to see more darker-skinned characters.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #178 on:** November 20, 2011, 09:28:09 pm »

Isn't Unified Italy the same character as North Italy? I've never really been clear on that...

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #179 on:** November 20, 2011, 09:31:18 pm »

in the manga there is a north and south Italy there are two of them.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #180 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:10:37 pm »

Yeah, that I got, but I wasn't sure about the concept of a unified Italy. There were time when North is labelled as the whole, and others specifically as North. I wasn't sure if he also represented Unified or not, and if so, what happens to Romano.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #181 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:23:09 pm »

I don't think he does but that is a good question.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #182 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:55:38 pm »

He does.

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #183 on:** November 28, 2011, 12:16:45 pm »

This year I am planning to go as Romano. This is my second time cosplaying hetalia, first time cosplaying Romano (was America at a Texas convention). And I'm excited to see some fellow hetalia cosplayers.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #184 on:** November 29, 2011, 08:41:57 pm »

^ Which Texas con? There's a couple down there that I've been interested in, myself...

So, Chan has been looking up possible kilts for my Scotland cosplay, but I'd like to have one of my relatives work her connection skills to get the actual family pattern.

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #185 on:** November 29, 2011, 08:45:03 pm »

I cosplayed America at IkkiCon, but I've also been to A-fest and A-kon down there.

They were both defiantly amazing. Especially A-kon.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #186 on:** November 29, 2011, 08:48:01 pm »

A-kon is the one I want to go to the most.

I'm part of an anime club, and we voted between that and Sakura-con. Since almost all of the members have never been to Sakura-con, they chose that one. I was all, "We live in Washington, hello! You're going to have more opportunities for that one than one in Dallas!"

I was even thinking about cosplaying as the character that the con is named after...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #188 on:** December 18, 2011, 10:24:08 am »

Well, it looks like my Scotland cosplay is going to be a strong possibility, but there's also the chance that I'll be Liechtenstein, too, though that one isn't as high a priority (at least not now). My fiancee & I are looking to go to Tokyo in Tulsa this year, and Liechtenstein is a possible cosplay for me, just because I've recently joined an online RPG group with a bunch of TNT attendees as her; it's still up for debate.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #189 on:** December 18, 2011, 03:14:58 pm »

I saw it, too, but didn't know what it was, at the time. I've since learned and am quite fond of this version of Finland (and his sister). I'd like to see it again some time, too.
